Find and Compare Health Care Facilities in Your Community

From the USA.gov Blog:

Find and Compare Health Care Facilities in Your Community:

Finding health care providers doesn’t have to be a headache. You can use directories to search for doctors that accept Medicare or search by specialty, name or location.
The government also collects data on healthcare facilities around the country. You can use this information to learn about and compare the quality of care in the facilities near you. You’ll find information about emergency department wait times, surgical outcomes, patient safety measures, health inspections, and staffing at your local facilities.
If you don’t have health insurance, you can find a public health clinic and pay what you can afford, based on your income. If you have a smart phone, you can use the Find A Health Center app to find a clinic near you. You can also explore insurance options available to you.
Find and compare health care facilities near you.
